The most important forces that affect air motion in the atmosphere are?

The most important forces that affect air motion in the atmosphere are pressure gradient force, Coriolis force, and friction. Pressure gradient force drives air from areas of high pressure to low pressure, Coriolis force deflects air due to the rotation of the Earth, and friction slows down air flow near the Earth's surface.


Which force is most responsible for raindrops falling to earth why are friction wind and thurst roungh?

Gravity is most responsible for raindrops falling to Earth. Friction, wind, and thrust can affect the movement of raindrops once they are falling, but gravity is the primary force pulling them downward.


Name the forces that keeps object attached to earth?

1. Gravity - it keeps objects from getting away from Earth into space. 2. Friction - in most places there's friction which keeps objects from sliding all over Earth.


Friction is important in which activities with their pictures?

friction is one of the most important phenomena in the universe... w/o friction life on earth would be impossible.... we can walk due to friction because earth offers resistance to the motion of our feet thus applyin reaction to uor action of applying force to the earths surface and propelling us forward... this is just one example an we need friction in almost every activity..........


What force acts on a space shuttle when it accelerates?

Presumably the most important force on an accelerating space shuttle is the force of the rocket engines (thrusters). Certainly other forces are present, including gravity and air friction.


What is the most significant force of friction?

a car driving on the road


How are the force of friction and the force necessary to move an object related?

In any given case, friction can produce AT MOST a certain amount of friction; if the coefficient of friction is known, this can be calculated as the normal force multiplied by the coefficient of friction.The force necessary to move an object must, of course, be greater than this maximum friction.


Can friction exist without gravity?

Yes, friction exists whenever two objects touch. Friction is caused by two effects: direct contact of mechanical surface irregularities and the electromagnetic force. It has nothing at all to do with the gravitational force, the strong force, or the weak force.


What force slows things down the most?

Friction and Air Resistance


If the force squeeze two surfaces together is decreased the force of friction between the two services will most likely?

Decrease as well. The force of friction is directly proportional to the force squeezing the surfaces together, according to the equation for frictional force. Therefore, reducing the squeezing force will likely result in a decrease in the force of friction between the two surfaces.


What is friction what are four types of friction?

Friction is most commonly known as any push or pull. There are four types of friction ; sliding friction, static friction, rolling friction, and fluid friction. Sliding friction is when something is sliding against another surface. Static friction is when there is force being applied upon a heavy object or the object is being moved on a rough surface. Rolling friction is when something is rolling on a surface and friction slows it down. Finally, fluid friction is when an object is being slown down on or in water, air, or any others fluid.


What is an example of favorable friction?

One of the most important frictional forces to humans is the static frictional force that the ground exerts on a body. Without this force, walking would be impossible, cars would go nowhere.
